I think one of the things I liked the most about Zabuza (and one of the things that actually make him one of the series best foils to Naruto himself) is that Zabuza is indeed an underdog. The guy started off with absolutely nothing, no friends. no family, no support, no home, nothing. He has no bloodline, no lineage and no special powers besides an unexplained ‘demon chakra’ that may very well just be all his hate and rage he managed to bullshit into a terrifying but functional ninja technique through sheer force of will. He’s just a guy with a chip on his shoulder and a regenerating but otherwise unremarkable big ass sword. That’s it. The guy wasn’t even meant to be a ninja, and looking at this fucked up awful hell village he already literally changed by himself (and one of their most defining policies too) he decides he wants to be Mizukage.

Unfortunately for him he didn’t have destiny on his side, or a giant chakra monster or a bloodline giving him a boost, so he never really did have a chance. In the Naruto world real underdogs never win.

Honestly it amuses me to no end that one of the first things Kakashi changes after becoming Hokage is updating the flak jacket to a more lightweight and durable vest. I just imagine him looking at his council tiredly like, “Do you know how many times I have been stabbed? We’re changing the uniform.”

Kakashi’s narrative is so wild because after his first time leading a mission he’s so upset about the outcome that he kind of seems like, “I don’t want to be in charge of things anymore!!!” and then Konoha proceeds to put him in charge of an ANBU team, a genin team, a bunch of chunin teams, a battle regiment, the entire village
